在八月的結尾
八月開始
回去，回到夢開始的地方去

朋友們在湖上
舉槳，搖櫓，交換婚戒
你站在舷邊微笑
美麗的天氣催生着
永恆的幻覺

窗前還是高速公路和遽變的暮色
窗後還是綠底白花的草地
和明暗相間的二十四家燈火
八月和八月之間
隔了五年

相識的都成了朋友
人和人的歷史
在口口相傳里衍生又湮沒

你不曾到這陌生的異國小鎮
卻與她合謀
在我的心上
鋸出齒狀的傷痕

且炒中國的花生米來
且開德國的啤酒來
且讓淅瀝夜雨來

添些氣氛
而我　竟不能醉

Dreams

For many a year I thought I had no dreams
Couldn't have dreams any more
Then they suddenly came back
As odd, magical and beautiful as before

Like I was watching grandpa's wrinkled face
Though he died in the summer of 1996 in China
Like I saw my friend driving, barefoot
A stranger and I had to squeeze into the backseat
That was only for one person and a half

Like I met you in another sleeping experience
Which made me feel guilty
About why I didn't dream of you in those days
When I still could talk to you, thought that I had you

But in this dream you looked almost ugly
I even remembered your disfigured expression
When I woke up in the morning
I felt sorry, then felt like weeping
But couldn't
